It looks like Tony is keener to support Indonesion boat builders than Australian car builders.

Yes read that one,then he comes out and says his levy on the top 3000 large earners,will only cover a little under half of his preposterous parenting payments,what the F*#k happen to PPL planning their own Families and funding it themselves,he is an out and out idiot

Yep. That's one of the stupidest (most stupid?) suggestions of all time.

 

Can't disagree.

Don't worry Rick. Tony reckons all the self-funded retirees and superannuation members will chip in the shortfall. And the sad part is most of them will vote for the idiot.

I heard about this the other day. I am wondering what the Indonesian government have to say about this or even if its been raised with them at all.

Sadly at this election we are faced with selecting between dumb and dumber.

I have to agree! 

Both leaders/parties seem to be plucking policies out of their ar$es without much planning or forethought 

[The Gonz]

Just like the Dumb and Dumber problem is the compulsory voting double-edged sword. Since the population must vote, Oz politicians don't need to evangelise or impress in US style capmpaigns, just present as the lesser of the two weasils.

Even sadder is what we've got after the last six years with Idiot # 1, Idiot # 2 & Idiot # 1 again.

Sadly doesn't matter which idiot gets in this time.whether it be King Idiot or wanna be King Idiot,we are in for a world of pain(finacially) either way

Ol' Tony really is a dickhead....

[Aussie Keith]

He did say he wasn't going to go into details of who he spoke to about this and when. I guess we can assume whoever it was he did speak to it wasn't our neighbours to the north. Looming large now, the possibility of being a total fail in international affairs. 

[Aussie Keith]

He is good at rubbery figures though:

An example: Abbott's frequent claim, repeated in his policy speech, that Australia has ''20,000 more public servants than in 2007''.

We have three data sources. The number of public servants is tracked by the Australian Public Service Commission. Between June 2007 and June 2012, it says, public service numbers grew by just 13,156. A third of that growth was in 2007-08, under the Howard government's last budget. From 2008 to 2012, they grew by just 8840.

The Bureau of Statistics and the Department of Finance track government employment, which includes the Defence forces and military reserves. The bureau says that grew by 17,800 between June 2007 and June 2012. Of them, 4700 were added in 2007-08, and just 13,100 since June 2008.

The Finance Department estimates that between June 2007 and June 2013 total staff grew by 18,753. But 8150 of that growth was in the military and defence contractors.

Take them out, and the rest grew by 10,603. Of that, 7934 was in 2007-08, but just 2669 since, with a net 4305 jobs wiped out since 2011 as Labor has cut agencies' budgets.

There never were 20,000 extra public servants, and Abbott knows it. It is a line that goes down well with the focus groups, so he keeps repeating it. But it is untrue.

Unless he doesn't understand what he is on about at all. Either way that's not good.
